Dogs on sofas?

[Headinthedrawer]

Quick poll...is your dog allowed on your sofa?I always said no but now I think I'd quite like her cuddled up to me .DH totally against it.We have washable covers...

Thank you everyone..love all the photos of your gorgeous dogs relaxing.

Definitely sofa dog snugglers here. They are family. X

No. I generally sit on the floor beside him though. Dog beds reek eventually even when the dog is clean and the covers are washed, and I don't want that. Also I think that inconsistent rules are unfair. It's not like the dog can take himself off for a bath.

Of course - whippets don’t do floors 😀😀. When we were on holiday and taking him to the pub for dinner with us, we had to take his big cushion for him to lie on 😀.

He also sleeps on our bed .

Here he is, snuggled on ‘his’ sofa, with his favourite toy .

Has he got a toy Mog?

Of course - whippets don’t do floors

Same

Pretty sure my lot would be ringing WhippetLine if we made any moves to keep them off the furniture...

Yep, she's part of our family so...

Yes - sofa is ok here - but dog does not go upstairs, so not on beds ever.

Yes here but she’s so small that she can’t jump up by herself anyway🤣
Leather sofas - tbh children do more damage than the dog could

Nope. But he's up here with me anyway. He's not that snugly, he likes to sit in the seat we've just left. He rarely graces us with his presence when we are there too.

No way! I love my dog but she's a dog. The sofa is for people. My MIL used to allow their dog on the sofa and when you went to visit the dog would be evicted so you could sit down. I still feel disgusted at the thought.

Of course he's allowed on the sofa. He's as much part of the family as the children and anyone else. I wouldn't make them lay on the floor.

Yes on the sofas, sleeps on the beds...he's part of our family and he loves a cuddle.

They allow me on their sofa.

He wants you all to see this picture too.

Yes, he's a sentient being not a pair of shoes.

Nothing that mupdog likes better than being on the sofa (tightly squeezed in the tiny gap between me and DH if we're on the same one). She's a rescue and she was such a sad anxious little thing when we first got her we couldn't bear not to let her snuggle with us whenever she wanted. Now if we're on separate sofas we compete to see who can win her over to be the evening's sofa companion (DH usually wins as she likes him best).

Yes, DDog is allowed up on the sofa, but only when invited.

She also has a blanket to lie on that can be washed. She will not get up without the blanket positioned just so.

She will only sit on the sofa with me, not DH. DH gets very offended about this

There is a strict 'no humans on sofa' rule in our house!

Yes. And on the bed. And under the duvet...

Sofa, bed, where ever she likes really, but she's small and not smelly. Also waits to have paws wiped when she comes into the house if it's wet out, even if she's only been into the garden for a wee.

Yes absolutely, she practically lives on the sofa.
Also is allowed in the bed when invited, (which is practically all the time cause I can't take the puppy dog eyes)

Of course!
What’s the point of a dog if you can’t snuggle up to them while watching a film
